Colors (help!)

I'm currently the proud owner of an almost-done 76 Bronco . I'm trying to decide what color I want the interior to be.

The current color schemes I have thought up are --
Maroon body, white top, white interior (but it'll get dirty!)
Maroon body, white top...a different kind of interior?
Maroon body, off-white top, parchment interior.

I'd love the white top but I can't find anywhere on the internet that sells stock seat covers in anything but white, black, and parchment. Can anyone help me out with some more options?

I don't think your going to find stock covers in anything but the colors you listed. Any upholstery shop could handle your stocks recover with any color you choose. I'd get a marine grade vinyl.
If you do go maroon with a white top pick a paintcolor a couple of shades darker than you think you want. It will appear lighter by a fair amount with the white top.

Gray or Charcoal interiors go with everything. Black carpet hides everything.
I think the EBs look best with a white top no matter what the body color is.

Painting my hardtop this week after about ten years to think it over. I have decided to go with a white top. I will post pictures when done. hopefully by the first of the year if the weather holds close to freezing and I can paint.
